This seal appeared to flash a wide smile to the camera. NORFOLK, UK: THIS PHOTOGRAPHER captured the UK?s largest seal colony ? all of whom were perfectly happy to pose for a quick snap. In one image, a 130-pound grey seal used its flippers to draw itself closer to a nearby bird, hoping to strike up a friendship with the tiny creature. In another, a lighter-coloured seal lifted its flipper as it appeared to smile and wave towards the camera. Photographer Laura Lake (37) from Norwich, UK, captured the adorable snaps at Horsey Gap in Norfolk, UK. Laura spent all day photographing the cute creatures from just 50 feet away. Around 40 per cent of the world?s grey seal population live in the UK. The seals retreat to sandy beaches to give birth but can also be found bobbing about just for fun. Females usually have their pups within one day of arriving on the beach. / Laura Lake
